You Can't Always Guide Your Loved Ones - Nouman Ali Khan

 

During this halaqah held at the Xhamia e 4Llullave (Hasan Beg) in Pristina, Kosovo, earlier this year, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan gives us a heartbreaking, yet much needed reminder that sometimes our own family members will be the ones that hurt us the most.

Focusing on the story of the two sons of Adam (AS), Ustadh highlights the ayat from Surah Al-Ma'idah (27-30) in which one of the two sons' sacrifice was not accepted by Allah, resulting in him threatening to kill his brother. The brother's response is where the key lesson lies; he was not passive by simply accepting of his murder, he did in fact attempt to defend himself. However, he made it clear that his intention was not to retaliate and kill, due to his taqwa - i.e. his fear of Allah. He also prayed that his murderous brother would bear his sins, along with his own, for this grievous sin.

Using this example, Ustadh Nouman emphasizes that we do have rights, even against our own family members, and it's not incumbent upon ourselves to humiliate or sacrifice ourselves from them, especially if they refuse to listen or, in extreme cases, aim to cause harm.

Are Hardships My Fault, or a Test from Allah?

 

In this Khutbah highlight, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explains that the Quran teaches us that every hardship or difficulty that befalls you is uniquely yours, designed specifically for you at that moment. It's a personal test from Allah. Ustadh explains that the Quran distinguishes between two types of challenges: those beyond our control and those that are a direct consequence of our own actions. But how do we differentiate between what is ordained by Allah and what is a result of our choices?

The Quran answers this through a simple yet powerful principle: Allah is as you perceive Him to be. If you truly believe that He is the Most Merciful, then during times of difficulty, your faith must remain firm that whatever Allah has decreed, even if it brings pain, is done out of His love and wisdom. When you place your complete trust and reliance in Him, Allah guides your heart to the right path and grant you peace of mind amidst the trials.
